Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 ounces ground turkey
- 0.5 cup yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons feta cheese (optional), crumbled
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up into small pieces with a spatula or wooden spoon. Cook for 5-6 minutes until it is no longer pink.
Stir in the paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper, ensuring the turkey is well-coated in the seasoning.
Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes, allowing them to soften slightly.
Gradually add the fresh spinach to the skillet, stirring gently until it wilts, about 2-3 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Remove the skillet from the heat and, if desired, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top.
Serve the skillet directly or portion it onto plates. Enjoy warm!
